He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

There are special places in the extraordinary world.

The dark forest where St. Marian College is located is one of them.

After stepping into the boundary of this forest, you can clearly notice that the sun above your head, which was originally emitting bright light, immediately dimmed.

The surrounding environment also became silent and eerie.

Paired with the scene in the forest, which is clearly summer but full of fallen leaves, it looks very strange and ominous, as if we have arrived at an evil place filled with ghosts and ghosts.

Following the forest path all the way deep, you can even see dark shadows passing by in the deep forests on both sides from time to time.

Bird carcasses and ants appear frequently.

However, despite the bizarre circumstances, there were no attacks on Andy until he arrived at the academy.

It's said to be a college, but it looks more like a manor in the woods.

The door with hollow patterns is full of rust.

The logo of St. Marian College hangs on the brown-black stone brick wall next to it.

Surrounded by them is a square building that looks like a five-story castle, with sharp corners and quite a Gothic style.

"Are you Andy?"

Standing in front of the door was a young blond woman who looked like a secretary.

After seeing the black-haired boy in a suit approaching with a suitcase, she couldn't help but take a few steps forward to meet him.

Andy nodded at her.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a person hurriedly appearing in the castle behind the door.

This person was a middle-aged woman wearing a women's suit. After looking at him for a few times, she walked over with excitement and excitement on her face, as if she was going out to greet him.

But she was clearly not there to greet Andy.

When passing by, he just nodded to him and hurriedly walked in the direction behind him.

And in that direction, the figures of the family of four who had stopped Andy at the airport were faintly visible.

"Don't be offended."

The blond woman who looked like a secretary felt a little embarrassed when she saw this.

While welcoming Andy into the academy, she explained in a low voice:

"When Duke Clare of the Empire came to visit, the dean had never been so excited. Only when she met some capable explorers would she become like this..."

St. Marian's College is a very old place. Although the people inside face difficulties, this kind of difficulties is only relative.

In fact, the personnel of this college are basically remnants of the old era from the evangelical church.

The so-called remnants are actually groups that resisted the reforms of the Evangelical Church hundreds of years ago, led by the Twelve Holy Families.

These twelve families generally have a glorious history and each comes from a distinguished family, so they are given the sacred name.

In fact, it cannot be said that it has declined now.

Because their predicament is actually a game with the mainstream of the church.

The remnants must either withdraw from the church or solve the college problem. There is no third way.

So most people quit the church, including the family of the Duke of Anjou.

The remaining ones who are unwilling to quit can only focus on solving problems as their primary consideration.

Occupations such as explorers and detectives are particularly good at solving problems in certain fields.

Andy certainly knew this.

But what surprised him was that the few guys behind him who were pestering each other and following them all the way seemed to be quite extraordinary?

"You actually don't have to worry about contacting your father."

While following the secretary towards the five-story castle, the black snake on his wrist conveyed a message.

"Anru is helping you deal with the mastermind who wanted to kill you. If those people behind you are suspected, they will not be in your sight."

Her meaning was obvious, there was something inside.

However, Andy was not interested in this. He didn't say anything after hearing this, and just gently played with the other person's snake head.

So the black snake who regarded herself as senior sister immediately became angry.

In fact, her dissatisfaction has been brewing for a long time.

When talking before, Andy often ignored her, as if he didn't know her identity at all.

Now this move is even more extreme... Is this treating her like a pet?

If she hadn't wanted to find clues about the teacher from Andy, she would not have been so angry.

Even if the master would not retaliate because he came from the same sect, it would be impossible to stay to observe or even protect him.

But, now...

After snorting coldly, Black Snake simply closed his mouth and said nothing, secretly waiting to see Andy get into trouble.

This is where the benefits of dragon training come into play.

But Andy's attention now is not on his wrist, but on observing the surrounding environment.

After stepping into the five-story castle, what you see is a vast hall.

At the core of the hall stands a huge glazed hourglass. The upper part of the hourglass is filled with sand, but there is only a shallow layer below.

And on the base of this hourglass, there is a line of words engraved on it.

[This is your graduation journey. ]

"I guess you already know the current situation of the academy."

Seeing Andy glance at the hourglass, the blond secretary leading the way said softly:

"The outer dark forest is full of evil spirits, and the number is increasing every day. When our college was founded, it was our duty to purify this forest. No one can graduate until this place is completely purified."

"But so far, we still don't know where those evil spirits come from. The dark forest is very special, and no extraordinary means can be used in it, so..."

Her expression was helpless, but she had no more emotions, as if she was used to it.

If you cannot use supernatural means to purify, you can only use secular knowledge, such as preaching on scriptures, to resolve the resentment in the hearts of evil spirits.

But this approach obviously doesn't work either.

If you look at the sand accumulated above the hourglass, you can see——

The part that represents the number of evil spirits can no longer be accommodated, and only a shallow layer of sand leaks underneath.

So that sentence, this is your graduation journey, seems very far away.

But Andy didn't think he would stay here for long.

After looking away, he followed the secretary to the dean's office.

Then, under the operation of the secretary, I filled in the information very efficiently, enrolled in the school, and officially became a member of St. Marian College.

This made Black Snake, who was planning to watch his joke, a little confused.

"Does he really have a way?"

From close observation, she could clearly feel that Andy showed no strange emotions at all when he heard the graduation requirements before, as if he had known all this for a long time.

But if this is the case, it is inconsistent with her previous judgment...

I don't think Andy is pretending, nor do I think he hasn't realized how difficult this is until now.

So Black Snake began to think deeply about this.

What she didn't realize was that after Andy officially filled out the enrollment form, a wonderful change had already occurred in his body.

Enrollment at St. Marian's, "The Road to Fooling God" is on track!

Deep in the body, a gentle warm current emerged, spreading throughout Andy's limbs and bones, strengthening his life essence and making his differentiation ability even stronger.

This situation should have been discovered by the black snake at close range, but the nature of lies among the two powers was enough to cover up the abnormality in Andy!

So no one noticed that when Andy left the principal's office and followed the secretary to the student dormitory, a piece of hair quietly broke from his forehead.

As it slowly fell to the ground, the hair suddenly turned into a gray woodpecker in mid-air, flapped its wings, jumped up, and flew toward the forest outside the window!

The problem solving begins.
